Weights: The method of calculating the Mass in
Running Order (MRO) and user payload figures has
changed in order to bring it in line with European
Vehicle Directives.
Allowances for essential equipment (e.g. gas
cylinders) previously allowed for in the user payload
are now contained within the MRO. A provision for a
leisure battery which used to be within the essential
equipment payload has now been included within the
personal effects payload allowance.
Although the method of calculation has changed, the
overall effect is that the amount of payload available
to the customer has remained the same, it is just
calculated in a different manner
Bed Sizes : Please note that the front double bed
sizes quoted are for seating configurations without
chest of drawers. The front double bed width for a
layout with a chest of drawers fitted will be reduced
by 0.4m(1'4") from that stated.
Awning sizes: Due to varying awning designs and
sizes the awning sizes given are approximate only.
Specific awning sizes must be confirmed by your
dealer or awning manufacturer prior to purchase.
** The dimensions given are approximate due to
slight variations in suspension ride heights, loading
conditions and tyre pressures.
Customers should verify the actual dimensions of
their touring caravan before committing to anything
that could be impacted by theses dimensions
Please note: Any dealer fit options will reduce the
overall payload available to the user of the caravan.
If you require additional payload it is possible to
upgrade the MTPLM to the upper limit. Pleas contact
your Sprite caravan dealer for more information.
